Makorra ended in season 2. I believed it was going to be Makorra even then, but that it was not going to be believable either way. Korrasami is a better ending. They (animators) mannaged to do a bisexual couple. They had their platonic development because it's more dificult to make explicit romantic/sexual tension between characters with the same gender. They already have lost all their support due to their "adult" content.

Oh man, I love these three people

The only thing I'm missing from the finale is Naga? Where the hell is Naga 

 

Speaking of awesome mascots, Kurama should've been in the Naruto finale as well.

 

edit; look what mike shared on fb!

Isn't that just the straightest thing ever?

So I guess, KorrAsami is really cannon. While it still did not seem to me romantic at all, I'll accept that it was meant to be romantic. I'll salude Bryke for doing such a progressive move for the LGBT community.

 

But if this was supposed to make KorrAsami cannon, I honestly wished the producers would have created more hints during season 4. The only scenes we got were the letter moment and that one filler scene in which Asami gave Korra her tea. To me, that KorrAsami moment was rather random. A beautiful scene in itself, but out of place as a whole in season 4.

Is that legit or did you find it on tumblr? Because I looked Michael Dante DiMartino on facebook and the only page for him was a like page that got all its info from wikipedia. I think that was most likely photoshopped. 

[It's Deidara Hm]

I am deeply upset that Naga only appeared asleep in like the last moments of the episode. I mean even Pabu got a significant part of having Zhu Li and Varrick's vows! 

 

Naga will always be in my heart

I found it on tumblr. I follow many avatar blogs, and they're all pretty legit. And they're all saying that Bryke is reblogging and liking pro-lgbt stuff on fb and tumblr. If someone photoshopped it, they must be pathetic.

The first time I noticed anything was in the book 3 finale. They'd built a friendship during that season, and I didn't really notice how close they were until Korra got poisoned. Asami was her nr1 support, and even offered to leave her life behind in RC to be with Korra at the south pole. That's pretty rad. We also got a blush after a compliment about Korra's new haircut, they were pretty intimate in resemblances, and Mako even asked them what was going on between them. I understand why it's pretty unthinkable to believe in something more than friendship between two girls in fiction, because representation is pretty rare. But if you look back at things, I think you'll notice that we actually got many hints.

[Win-chan]

Honestly, in any fiction, ANY relationship between two girls is underrepresented and I personally think it's lame that this one AWESOME friendship between two girls was hinted at to being romantic. If you think about it, most platonic relationships (broships) people care about involve at least ONE guy. Broships I love include Sam/Dean/Cas (SPN), Damon/Alaric (TVD), D'jaali/Kyleia (a 30 year old man and an 18 year old girl - they're such cute little friends, he's like the older brother she never had), Mustang/Hughes (FMA), Ed/Ling/Greed (FMA also), John/Sherlock, Sherlock/Mary, and I could go on. But I seriously can't think of one ship (platonic) I love that is just two girls. IDK why it is, but I think it's sad because I'm a girl and I have the four most amazing best friends in the world. So I just WISH there would be awesome friendships between girls in shows. I still don't view Korrasami as canon because honestly, I'd do the exact same thing that they did with one of my BFFs and it wouldn't be romantic at all, so... I just view it as them saying they don't need a man and they're just gonna be besties and hang out together and be together. That's just me, though

I understand your point actually, because girls are a lot more intimate than guys. I hold hands with my girlfriends, but if guys do it, it's kitten and..no kitten right?

 

When thinking about platonic girl ships, InoSaku comes to mind. I agree with you! So sad their relationship wasn't explored, and that Hinata is written in Ino's place.

[Nar123]

The ending wasn't really all that great to be honest.. Just my opinion.

 

They messed up characters I like and they kinda just threw in the Korrasami moment at the end just so they won't resolve the mess they made with the romance.

 

The only person I would say that good a good end in the romance department was Varric and his assistant. 

 

Mako and Korra was a good ship until they had to kitten on Asami for it to work and they still ended up breaking up. Then they went ahead to further screw Asami over again in season 2 by having her kiss Mako after he dumped her for Korra (still can't get over that), Bolin also did not even get any last moment with his girlfriend at least I don't remember seeing them together dancing or something in the final episode.

 

What about Kuvira and that idiot that she loved? No resolution on that I guess.  This might not bother other people but I was kinda interested in seeing what happened to their relationship especially now that she got TNJ by Korra.

 

Compared to the original Avatar series, this ending was underwhelming. Still an enjoyable show once you ignore the crappy romance.

 

Maybe I am just nitpicking.... but it could have been a lot better.

 

 

Its Nick's fault, they cut the budget to LOK remember? Thats why the episode "remembrances" exists. If they hadn't cut it, im sure these plot points you mentioned could've been answered. No fear though, ATLA also ended with a plothole (Zuko's mom) and it was resolved in the comics, since i believe korra will be getting comics too these plot holes will obviously be resolved by them

 

As for KS, well i could see the development there since season 3, season 4 build KS with some sublte hints ( Korra blushing and etc)

In the end i believe they aren't together yet, but they recognize these building feelings they have for each other and probably will act on it ( or maybe not)...as of right now just the comics can answer us if their relationship develop or not

Ugh, yeah. InoSaku had the potential to be way awesome but we never really got to see them interact. They had some rivalry/friendship established back in part 1, but we never got any more of that. *sigh* Then Hinata just waltzed in and tried to be besties with Sakura. She stole both Naruto from Sakura and Sakura from Ino Oh well. We don't have to talk about that. The end of Naruto was crap. 

 

I do think that a more open-ended/hinted ending was a good idea, though, because it satisfies the shippers and allows non-shippers to interpret it differently. It was definitely a Korrasami ending, but the nature of the relationship is up to interpretation, and I think that's a really smart way to please your fandom I think a Naruto ending showing Naruto and Sakura being together and going off on some mission or adventure together would've been a great ending as well, because it would've satisfied the NS shippers, remained true the characters, but also allowed NH and SS shippers to interpret the ending differently. Therefore, everybody would be happy. Well, the majority of people anyway

[firegirl]

What they did wasn't friendly, it was very intimate. Just think for a second, I understand it seems like friendship but just please understand what I'm saying. Asami and Korra were staring at each other as they walked towards the beam, their hands came together as it occurs then they don't look towards the portal, instead they turn towards each other, allowing their other hands to hold, BUT still maintain staring into each others eyes, both of them giving each other adoring glances as well as smiling.I only EVER did something like that, (minus the portal part)  With my BF and Ex girlfriend. Like if we just are y'know around each other sometimes we reach for both hands and close out everyone around us. Just looking at each other with no care about anything else.

 

Other couples in Avatar was in that exact same position, Zaheer and Pi'li is a perfect example as well and Zu'li and Varrick. 

 

I'm not trying to say anything or offend people but honestly this is the furthest the creators could go with their relationship. IMAGINE Naruto and Sakura in their position and tell me that is friendship.

yup^!
 
I think also what is special about their handhold is, the camera position for example.

This^, looks like a frickin' wedding ceremony. Zhu Li and Varrick did the same thing. Korra and Asami did it twice, last time it was the ending scene so it's the last impression.
 
Edit; I found the FB post. It wasn't photoshopped.

Well guys read this article. 

The creators say Korra and Asami are "romantically involved...." It seems highly fishy though

Edited by It's Deidara Hm, 22 December 2014 - 02:35 AM.

[firegirl]

I think that is false, though there is still evidence from the crew and the creators. Dante Basco, Seychelle Gabriel and Jeremy Zuckerman all been twitter happy about the finale and Korrasami. Also I recently found out that Mike liked an very intimate fanart of Korrasami on his tumblr. 

 

I really can't even begin to say anything else at this point, because it should be clear that the relationship was a suitable build up. Again try to picture this whole scenario with Narusaku, from the beginning of season 3 to now. 

 

Or better yet picture Mako in Asami's place throughout the last two books. 

 

Not all romance is attraction, kisses and huge gestures. In fact most adult relationships in the early 20s - beyond start to be very suitable, its the little gestures and touches that really make a huge impact upon partners, whether straight or queer. What people want is not verbal declarations, what they want is trust, balance and empathy. Bonds like those between romantic partners are very rare, in a way they are meant as soul mates because of the amount of understanding and care they hold for one another. 

 

Also note that Katara at first saw Aang as a kid, but as they got closer she started to understand his pain, the need of love that he desires, and steadily her view on him shifted as well as his growth. ( But do remember they are also in their early teens, yet was in a time period where one HAD to grow up)

I don't watch the serie, but I'm glad Nick finally has a lesbian couple. Disney already had one in GLC, so I'm glad they had KorrAsami.

[Serenity Namikaze]

I'm laughing too hard at this pic :lmao:The way they are freaking out, omg XD

http://berurai.co.vu/post/105587705205

         

 

At least they are really happy about the ending lol, such a good feeling 

[Serenity Namikaze]

I believe I should start over and see the whole thing as a whole.

 

I think I'll do that too. it's one thing to watch it every week it's another to watch the show without interruptions, you get new perspectives and you rediscover things you love in a new light 

[Nar123]

Korrasami confirmed guys

Korrasami Confirmed

Now that Korra and Asami’s final moment is out in the world, it seems like an appropriate time to express how I feel about it. I didn’t want to say anything right away so the audience could experience the finale for themselves.

The main themes of the Avatar universe have always revolved around equality, justice, acceptance, tolerance, and balancing differing worldviews. In subtle and maybe not so subtle ways, Avatar and Legend of Korra have dealt with difficult subjects such as genocide, child abuse, deaths of loved ones, and post traumatic stress. I took it as a complement when Joanna Robinson of Vanity Fair called the show subversive. There were times even I was surprised we were able to delve into the really tough stuff on a children’s TV network. While the episodes were never designed to “make a statement”, Bryan and I always strove to treat the more difficult subject matter with the respect and gravity it deserved.

And over the years we’ve heard from numerous fans, in person and online, how Avatar and Korra have influenced their lives for the better or helped them overcome a life struggle or setback. I am always humbled when people share their personal stories with us and I am grateful that my love for telling stories has been able to help people in some small way. So while Avatar and Korra were always meant to be entertaining and engaging tales, this universe and its characters also speak to the deeper humanity in all of us, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, culture, nationality, or sexual orientation.

Our intention with the last scene was to make it as clear as possible that yes, Korra and Asami have romantic feelings for each other. The moment where they enter the spirit portal symbolizes their evolution from being friends to being a couple. Many news outlets, bloggers, and fans picked up on this and didn’t find it ambiguous. For the most part, it seems like the point of the scene was understood and additional commentary wasn’t really needed from Bryan or me. But in case people were still questioning what happened in the last scene, I wanted to make a clear verbal statement to complement the show’s visual one. I get that not everyone will be happy with the way that the show ended. Rarely does a series finale of any show satisfy that show’s fans, so I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the positive articles and posts I’ve seen about Korra’s finale.

I’ve already read some heartwarming and incredible posts about how this moment means so much for the LGBT community. Once again, the incredible outpouring of support for the show humbles me. As Tenzin says, “Life is one big bumpy ride.” And if, by Korra and Asami being a couple, we are able to help smooth out that ride even a tiny bit for some people, I’m proud to do my part, however small it might be. Thanks for reading.
